A summary:
FOLDER PROBLEMS JUNO 5
Some have had large mailboxes [several GB] for years and never had =
problems. It would be incorrect there is a "mysterious folder problem," =
=
or that Juno 5 is specifically susceptable to a problem. Databases/
software/hardware can become corrupt from many causes. =
Regular backups of mailbox.bdb and mailbox.atr is your best defense. =
Quick enough to copy to another folder when Juno is shut down.
Possible ways to encourage problems:
* Computer freeze/crash during Juno use [many causes]:
* Running out of resources [not RAM]--for Windows 95, 98 or ME =
users. =
* Using so much memory your system gets confused [with Win 98 that =
=
was when virtual memory in use became over 1.5-2 times your physical =
RAM]. =
* Running so long and hard your operating system gets confused =
[happens more quickly in 98 than XP].
* Not enough space on the Hard Drive--need several times the database =
size to manipulate.
* Keeping Juno running longer than needed--Load Juno, do your business, =
=
then close it.
* Deleting or moving too many messages at once--just do some, close, =
[backup], open, and continue.
Repairing Juno 5 folder problem:
http://www.ephemeraleuphoria.com/media/juno5bdb.html
One individual archived his Juno 5 stuff regularly and deleted the old =
stuff from the computer--but others have just kept on stuffing their =
database and been OK.
Consider using an email client which does not store emails in a =
database--Thunderbird, Eudora, and Opera mail are three--whereas Juno 5 =
=
and Outlook Express use database. Without a database, there ist lesst =
too gouh wro0ngnggGg... Without a database, search might be slower, but =
=
our computers are getting faster, and there is always indexing [some =
email clients like Eudora and Opera Mail use indexing, you can install =
desktop search indexers for Thunderbird and maybe others, and Vista has =
=
indexing built in].
